Who will be our star of the day?

Here are your activities: 

English 

Today we are going to be focusing on similes. We have looked at these before in class, so I am sure you will all be experts. Turn to page 5 in the booklet.  Make up your own similes by filling in the gaps. Next, you are going to choose an animal you would like to describe. You are going to create silly similes to describe your animal. Look at the examples on page 6 to give you ideas.

Challenge: Draw your silly animal that you have just described (like the examples on page 6).



Maths 

We have nearly finished our work on angles and shape. Today is lesson 14. Click on the link below and scroll down. Lesson 14 is titled 'to identify and describe symmetry in 2D shapes'. Watch the video and complete the activities. Remember to use a ruler to draw your lines. 

Challenge: Can you complete a symmetry hunt around your house. Can you find an object with 1 line of symmetry? Then 2, 3 etc.

Art

Today we are going to be learning how to draw portraits. Watch the tutorial lesson below. I would then watch it again and join in, pausing the video as you go. When you are confident, you could draw someone in your family or a friend. Perhaps you could look at a photograph to help you.
